Doesn't time fly by, I’ve just heard them talking about Christmas on our local radio stations already. Well, let us just concentrate on those expected sun filled days and warm summer nights, relaxing in the garden with the drink of your choice. We see that the crossings have been installed at the top of the bank as you enter Audley from New Road Bignall End. I’m still debating if it was the right choice, especially after seeing the speed of the traffic as it travels up and down that main road (it’s just frightening at times) and something needs to be done about it before someone is killed or badly injured. We still have the parking controversies, as drivers still completely ignore the double yellow lines and they seem to think that they have put the crossings in the centre of the village of Audley, as a parking area. I receive many correspondences saying how lucky we are to have such a lovely village and there are many letters from people who have left to live elsewhere who wish they could return. No doubt there are many areas which could be improved in the parish and many of these improvements could be done by the people themselves. There are many unsung groups of people in the village who volunteer to try to improve the look of the village and all they need is your support. Why should we be left with fouled pavements, cans and bottles strewn around our street? This is our parish one to be proud of, we pay our community charges but it seems we are forgotten when help is needed. We only have to look at all the hard work that is going on by these volunteers who are trying to provided the kids of Audley and Wood Lane with play areas. Thousands of pounds are spent on as we say “the other side of the hill”, but when the parish is in need we have to beg, borrow, or find our own funds. Why? Please give these groups all your support and speak to your local councillors to try to get things changed. Well, that’s enough of me moaning, let’s hope you all enjoy this issue of the Newsletter. I would welcome your comments about the content of each issue, this will give the team the opportunity to try and give you the readers what you want.

The scheme was approved by the Board of Education on the 28th May and parents were notified of the changes in July 1938. Audley Infants (now the Church Hall) – To close down. Audley Juniors in Church Street – The juniors to transfer to Ravens Lane and the school to become the new Audley Infants School. Ravens Lane – The senior school to close and pupils to transfer to Halmer End. Halmer End – The infants’ school to close and pupils to transfer to Alsagers Bank, Audley or Wood Lane. The building to become a dining hall and kitchen for the senior school. Alsagers Bank – Enlarged in 1937, the school is expected to take in most of the infants from Halmer End. Wood Lane – The junior and infants schools to continue as before. The changes would take effect at the start of the new school year on the 1st September. Parents however protested strongly and their main points of contention were: 1) The distance children would now have to travel to school 2) The state of the roads which were narrow and steep, especially Boon Hill 3) The traffic danger on the narrow roads 4) The children would be unable to return home for their mid-day meals 5) The provision of transport for pupils. The parents prepared for action by forming a Parents Committee chaired by Mr William Riley of Bignall End. The protest was supported by Colonel Wedgwood, MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme and the communist party member Mrs Fanny Deakin. A “sit-down strike” at the start of the new term was suggested by Colonel Wedgwood. It was proposed that the pupils turn up at the schools they would normally have attended and not the schools they were being transferred to. Once inside, the pupils and their parents would then commence the sit-down protest. What happened next? It became the main topic of conversation in Audley Parish. It hit the front pages of newspapers and was even raised in parliament. Some readers who were at school at the time will know the answer. Other readers though will have to wait until the next issue of the newsletter when all will be revealed. If you were involved then we would like to hear your story.

From a humble beginning the society has grown into a group of very experienced enthusiasts, who turn every stone to compile the historical facts from the past, of our beloved parish of Audley. In May 1986 it was decided to form what we now know as the Audley & District History Society. The original members who formed the society were Stan & Joan Brassington of Bignall End with Phillip Coops & Gwyneth Pearson. Their first meeting held was a talk on family history research by Peter Chadwick. From this the society has developed by transcribing the records and publishing books about the Audley Parish and its adjoining area. Today we have over 150 members worldwide with an invitation to anyone to come along and join us. The society would welcome any documents or information about the parish, Tel: 01782 720495.

I wonder how many people will remember what was happening in the village of Halmer End in July 1954. Well - I can tell you. This was the introduction of the mains sewerage being brought to the village, which would mean an end to the old wooden closets (toilets), down at the bottom of most household yards. Yes, we were being converted to flush toilets - luxury at last! Why do I remember? It so happened that the 17th July 1954 was our wedding day and the conversion from the old to the new meant that for weeks a huge trench was being dug up all the way up High Street Halmer End. The trench had reached the Central Methodist Chapel on exactly the day of our wedding! What a predicament we were in, Graham and I literally had to “walk the plank” to get into the Chapel. We were surrounded by mounds of earth (partly covered with tarpaulins) all the old pipe works, buckets and all the debris involved in such a scheme. On arrival at the Chapel we could see that the workmen had laid a plank across the trench for us to negotiate and our friends at Chapel had tried to help by laying some lino on the pavement.

    A HISTORY of CLUB CRICKET in COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One

    A HISTORY OF CLUB CRICKET IN COUNTY DURHAM Chapter One..........The eighteenth century In the beginning The first recorded cricket match in Durham was at Raby Castle in 1751. It was five years after the Duke of Cumberland and bayoneted Redcoats slogged through the county’s mud on their way to the Battle of Culloden. Defoe’s account of his travels through Great Britain had not long been published. Defoe found nothing remarkable in Darlington or Chester-le-Street except “dirt” but was impressed by Lumley Castle and acknowledged Lumley coal the best in the country. He thought Durham a “compact neatly contriv’d city” where clergy lived “in all the splendour and magnificence imaginable”. Durham cathedral and Saint Cuthbert’s remains were a shrine for pilgrims but the city was a vulnerable haven riding on a cut-throat sea. The poor lived in slums; the populace was prey to vagabonds, footpads and highwaymen. The Bishop of Durham bewailed “the scorn of religion”. His flock scratched a living on the land or burrowed beneath it for lead and coal; their leisure centred upon drinking and blood sports like cock-fighting. In 1742 John Wesley came across a village “inhabited by colliers only, and as such had been always in the first rank for savage ignorance, and wickedness of every kind. Their grand assembly used to be on the Lord’s Day on which men, women and children met together to dance, fight, curse, and swear, and play chuck-ball, span farthing, or whatever came to hand.” Somehow, sometime the game of cricket took root in these parts.

Until 1860 most codes prohibited forward passing altogether necessitating forward movement of the ball by dribbling only. C.W. Alcock and his club Wanderers FC, the chief proponents of the dribbling game, argued that it represented pure soccer, as distinct from rugby where passing the ball (albeit by hand) was a distinctive trait. In the dribbling game, there were seven (or eight) forwards, each a dribbling expert, one or two fullbacks in support of the attack, and one fullback to challenge the opposing dribbler.

The soccer-rugby split had occurred by this time, and the passing game was the first sign that soccer was maturing. To accommodate the increased goal scoring potential, another fullback was added on defense, thus reducing the forward line to six players. The Scottish method was eventually perfected by the English amateur club Corinthians during the 1880s, and became commonplace.
